Neilson TruTaste Bag Milk Packaging Shrinks from 4 to 3 litres!

omg...when did this happen??

Thank-you for the good eye!
Will this also apply to other milk next?
I doubt the size of the bag has changed much. There was a large enough gap already hanging outside the top of the dispenser.
Make no mistake! This IS a price increase!
$6.79 x3 = (12 Litres) $20.37
$5.19x4= (also 12 Litres) $20.76

For 40 years it's been 4 liters...just raise the f'in price you greedy pigs, we're not all mentally challenged. I hate when they treat us like fools.

wow... this needs to appear on TV news... shame on them

Time to cross them off my grocery list.

how does this fit with the milk jug holder?

We're all waiting for someone else to waste the money to find out.

My local No Frills is selling the 3 Litre TruTaste bags for only $4.49 ($4.99 for Homogenized)
I'm honestly not sure if it's just that store or not, or if it's just a sale for this week or what...??

Thanks for pointing this out.

Not a good thing at all. I'm sure - eventually - the others will follow.

Its honestly not a noticeable increase, only a difference of $0.39, & thats after accounting for 3 or 4 purchases. However, expect a much steeper "real" price increase in the future.

I wonder if instead of shrinking the bags by much if they will instead just fill them less.

This type of crap is getting out of hand.

Didn't Bacon just get smaller? 375g packages instead of 500g? Cheese? 400g instead of 500g?

And the Bacon's cut soooo thin, it's like useless

I'm waiting for loaves of bread to get smaller, and everything.

this is so pathetic.. All in the name of profit of course too

That's what I'm doing..but apparently the masses are too dumb to stand up for themselves and stop taking it in the pooper. I have not purchased "frozen desert" or anything from companies pushing "frozen deserts". I have not once purchased 'chocolate beverage'. I only buy my bacon at Costco (500g) so Maple Leaf can kiss my blowhole. If more people would wake up maybe they'd get the message...

It's incredibly insulting knowing they have a bunch of arrogant MBA's sitting in a conference room thinking they can quietly outsmart all of us.

I have no problem with them making profit, they are after all public companies in a capitalist country. My issue is treating us like door knobs trying to pull fast ones. Raise what I pay by 2% every year...I'm not making more money but I'm willing to accept your costs are also going up...but don't treat me like a fool and sell me 2/3 of what I used to get for 20% less money so I 'think' I'm getting a deal...that's insulting my intelligence and you're going straight to my boycott list.

Don't get me started on Krapt and General Mill and ConAgra buying the small competition and trying to buy the monopoly of what goes in our mouths.

Bread already started a while back in stores. The 12 grain, stone ground, etc are now 600g instead of 680g. (Think Country harvest brand etc)
Go to Dollarama-They now carry Weston bread. the 450g loaf is still $1.25 and has not changed, but the $2 twelve grain loaf is now 570g, down from 600g.
(...and here I was expecting the price to go up to $2.25-they shrank the loaf instead)

With this packaging change Neilson is essentially removing one of the primary advantage of buying milk in bags - it was their "bulk purchase" option. Now if you want more than a standard 2 litre carton; you're only slightly upsizing by going to the 3 litre bag.

On the plus side; it may make their more obsessive customers happy in that each bag now will contain an even litre of milk rather than 1.33333333333333.. litres

I emailed them just to let them know I wouldn't be buying the product anymore. Not that I think it will make any difference.

With a one year old we go through a lot of milk. I don't want to buy less than 4 litres at a time. 25% is a big reduction.
